A Shakespearean theatre stage large enough to stage fight scenes is being uncovered in Shoreditch.
Recent studies of the Curtain Theatre have revealed that its stage was the same length as a modern-day fencing piste at 14 metres long and 4.75m meters deep and lent itself to hosting certain types of plays – specifically those that included sensational dynamic fight scenes.
